THE HIGH REPUBLIC
THE BEACON

The Jedi triumph!

The final battle between the villainous Nihil and the
Republic has been fought. The triple threat of the
Blight, the Nameless, and Marchion Ro has finally
been laid to rest. Even the Nihil's Nightmare Fleet has
been dismantled, Child of the Storm H'Tar killed by a
shot from bounty hunter Lourna Dee--a shot Jedi
Marshal Keeve Trennis did not want taken.

Fresh from the conflict in Eriadu space, Keeve Trennis
sets course for Coruscant in the ravaged Republic
Longbeam, ''Gios''. Her destiny awaits in the cloistered
halls of the Jedi Temple, but the path she will take
remains uncertain….
